Packages I no longer maintain
For various reasons (usually obsolescence or lack of time), there are some packages I no longer maintain:
netkit-telnet-ssl
netkit-telnet-ssl is a telnet client and server with patches to enable SSL encryption. The netkit-telnet-ssl source package creates two binary packages, telnet-ssl (the client) and telnetd-ssl (the server).
SSL telnet(d) replaces normal telnet(d) using SSL authentication and encryption. It interoperates with normal telnet(d) in both directions. It checks if the other side is also talking SSL, if not it falls back to normal telnet protocol.
Advantages over normal telnet(d): Your passwords and the data you send will not go in cleartext over the line. Nobody can get it with tcpdump or similar tools. With SSLtelnet you can also connect to https-server like https://www.netscape.com. Just do 'telnet www.netscape.com 443'

- netkit-telnet-ssl in the debian package tracking system
- netkit-telnet-ssl in debian:
- stable: telnet-ssl, telnetd-ssl
- testing: telnet-ssl, telnetd-ssl
- unstable: telnet-ssl, telnetd-ssl
netkit-ftp-ssl
netkit-ftp-ssl is an ftp client with patches to enable SSL encryption. The netkit-ftp-ssl source package creates the binary package ftp-ssl.
SSL ftp replaces normal ftp using SSL authentication and encryption. It interoperates with normal ftp. It checks if the other side is also talking SSL, if not it falls back to normal ftp protocol.
Advantages over normal ftp: Your passwords and the data you send will not go in cleartext over the line. Nobody can get it with tcpdump or similar tools.

linux-ftpd-ssl
linux-ftpd-ssl is an ftp server with patches to enable SSL encryption. The linux-ftpd-ssl source package creates the binary package ftpd-ssl.
SSL ftpd replaces normal ftpd using SSL authentication and encryption. It interoperates with normal ftp. It checks if the other side is also talking SSL, if not it falls back to normal ftp protocol.
Advantages over normal ftpd: Your passwords and the data you send will not go in cleartext over the line. Nobody can get it with tcpdump or similar tools.

Gnulib
Gnulib, the GNU portability library, is a macro system and C declarations and definitions for commonly-used API elements and abstracted system behaviors. It can be used to improve portability and other functionality in your programs.
pgp5i and rsaref2
pgp5i can no longer be part of debian, as the non-US/non-free archive section has been discontinued. I have kept a copy of the debian package in my apt source, along with rsaref2, the crypto library needed to build pgp5i. Note that this version is long out of date and probably has security issues. At this point it is only here for historical interest, and should not be used for actual crypto. I will occasionally update the packaging, but don't plan to support the code beyond that.

- The International PGP home page.
- GNU Privacy Guard (gnupg), a completely free replacement for pgp.
